Great value for a full size car

This car has an awesome amount of room in it. It is comfortable and economical to travel in. I would rate this car a 90 or higher. The 3.4 has remarkable power for the size. Transmission can be weak and not engage completely at stop signs. This has not been a problem for the car's dependability.

Great..33mpg solid..handles well

Visors.are basic.. I would like them to be larger and block more sun. Our car did not have the back seat that folds down and that would be nice. As you can read we like this car and find very little to fault.

Reliable

This car is very reliable i bought it to travel to work and it has over done its job but i only buy chevy so to me all are reliable. Chevy is undergoing a change so we will have to be patient and give them a chance.

It's okay.

Surprisingly, it has been hanging in there even with the repair issues I come across, although I do not wish to invest any more money into it.
It is a little boaty in size and every once in a while something else breaks down, so I need something smaller and more reliable.

I wish the model would never age over time, but it has.

I purchased black but now live in Las Vegas and black is a negative on the extremely hot days when we have them. Fine otherwise all year otherwise. Get one of these before they are extinct. You won't have regrets.

Recall Notices

2010 Chevrolet Impala (7/5/2016)

Campaign Number: 16V507000

Component Name: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

Description: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 25, 2008 through February 16, 2010. The front passenger seat frame may contact and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor module.

Defect: If the wires are damaged, the passenger presence sensory system may fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied, disabling the air bag. Damage may also cause the air bag fuse to short resulting in a loss of all air bags and seat belt pretensions. Both conditions increase the risk of injury during a crash.

Corrective Action: GM will notify owners, and dealers will double wrap the wires with anti-abrasion tape and replace damaged wires as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 1, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 36110.
